What Constitutes an 'Investment?'

<p>I am currently filling out some financial information for the scholarship section of the Apply Texas application for University of Texas at Austin. </p>

<p>This question popped up: </p>

<p>“What is the net value of your parents’ (or guardians’) other investments?”</p>

<p>The main question I am wondering is if investments refers to only stocks/bonds or total assets? Specifically speaking, would a house and a car count as investments?</p>
